Cleaning 100+ y.o. BREAD OVEN / Tour our bakehouse

[@ingridvandewege1547]

Klassiek separaat van het woongebouw gebouwd bakhuis: altijd gevaar voor brand in het bakhuis.. Deze ovens werden klassiek gestookt met droge takkebossen: hevig vuur met hoge temperaturen en hoge warmteoverdacht naar de klei en de stenen. Normaal staat er onder de oven een bak om de hete as in te rakelen alvorens te starten met bakken. Na het stoken werd de bakvloer in de oven kort gereinigd met een natte doek rond een stok gedraaid. Normaal was er een trog om deeg te kneden en te laten rijzen. Waarschijnlijk stond er vroeger ook een molen voor het malen. Mogelijks was deze oven verbonden met de graanzolder via een buis die uitkwam in de bak van de molen. Gist werd gehaald bij de lokale brouwer (biergist). Het rek aan de zijkant dient om het brood te laten uitdampen. Normaal werd 1 maal per week gebakken. Het bakken gebeurde meestal met tarwe (beste smaak) en rogge. In de oorlog werd ook als eens gebakken met erwten en paardebonen. Het dorsen van het graan gebeurde klassiek in de winter wanneer er niet veel werk was voor de boer en de knechten buiten. Het dorsen gebeurde in de schuur op een houten vloer met een vlegel in kadans volgens het aantal personen. Het graan werd dan door een wannemolen geblazen om het kaf en het koren te scheiden. Het kaf werd gebruikt als matras (kafzak).

Translation: Classically built separately from the residential building: there is always a risk of fire in the baking house. These ovens were traditionally fired with dry branch forests: intense fire with high temperatures and high heat transfer to the clay and stones. Normally there is a container under the oven to rake in the hot ashes before starting the baking. After firing, the baking floor in the oven was briefly cleaned with a wet cloth wrapped around a stick. Normally there was a trough to knead dough and let it rise. There probably used to be a mill for grinding as well. Possibly this oven was connected to the granary by a pipe that ended in the mill's bin. Yeast was obtained from the local brewer (beer yeast). The rack on the side is used to let the bread evaporate. Normally, baking was done once a week. The baking was mostly done with wheat (best taste) and rye. During the war, baking was also done with peas and horse beans. The threshing of the grain was traditionally done in the winter when there was not much work for the farmer and the servants outside. Threshing was done in the barn on a wooden floor with a flail in cadence according to the number of people. The grain was then blown through a fan mill to separate the chaff and the wheat. The chaff was used as a mattress (chaff bag).

As a pizza chef who works with wood fired ovens I just want to remind you that it may be called a bread oven but it is simply and oven. You can learn how to regulate and manage the heat by where you put your fire, how long you burn it and the wood you burn. And you can cook anything in it. With practise you be getting it super hot for pizza, then clearing the Ash out and cooking bread on the first heat, then cakes and maybe some slow cooked meat left in on the residual heat. Good luck.

[@ncmartinez_his]

I believe the name petit four means small oven. After cooking bread bakers would use the lower temperature oven to bake pastries. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_four

[@briandeeley1599]

All those ashes were from burning paper, the previous owner was not using it as an oven or just had a lot of papers to get rid of. a bread oven would never have that much ash in it.

[@dirttdude]

Great comment... We primarily use ours for most cooking throughout July, August and September to keep the heat out of the house but when the kids and the grandkids come for Christmas week we use it all week and never let it cool down, i cook a half a side of pork at a time in there and we use a variety of dutch ovens in the stone oven for compartmentalizing and different temperatures, ofcourse pizza is quite popular with the little kids and I

very strange that there was so much paper burnt in the oven as this isnt what would have been used when baking, wood would have been used and ashes were moved around to make way for the items to be baked. Looks like they used it to get rid of rubbish or papers they no longer wanted.

[@kerylcooper2314]

[@myfavs253]

Depends on your type of soil.

[@Adenya_E]

Yeah true. Depends on the acidity or Alkalinity levels. Ash is used to make it more of alkaline or to reduce acidity as it neutralizes it.

[@onemoonbeam3590]

Don't forget to have the chimney swept out also as the years of soot buildup in it can catch fire in the chimney and cause the floor above to catch fire as well.

[@SilvaDreams]

Yeah someone was obviously burning a lot of wood in there but not cleaning it out to fill it up with so much ash so that chimney has got to be a creosote nightmare. Though the longer I watched... Maybe someone was just burning a ton of garbage in there too.

[@lesserpoo]

Makes you wonder what they burnt in that oven.... 📝 🔥 You two approach restoration with such love for the buildings. Someone put their heart and soul into running that farm. It’s good to see you want to restore their dreams.

[@somewherenicefarmstay6146]

That bread house is awesome. We always have a pizza oven in the yard as the husband builds them for the family. When the kids were still living at home and we had 20 other kids running around the yard (we had a pool so there was always lots of kids at our place) - we had to find an easy cheap way to feed them all. Our go to recipe - get a cast iron pot and put 2 layers of raw sausages on the bottom. Potatoes (heaps) and whatever vegies you have throw them in. Then a dash of curry paste, a couple of tins of tomatoes, one or two jars of pasta sauce and then top up with water so everything is covered with liquid. Shove it in your pizza oven or bakehouse - come back about 2 -3 hours later. The yummiest sausage and vegie casserole. Have a loaf of bread ready for everyone to sop up the sauce. There was never any leftovers. Hungry kids satisfied. Your kids are only a few years off from that stage, they would love this with their friends. It is even easier than pizza to cook. All the best to you both.

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Mmmmm... sounds so yummy! I noted down the recipe. Do you have a pizza oven now? Maybe you could share the way you cooked it on your channel? To keep it for the future generations 😀 What a wonderful memories you have!

[@lianegordon971]

@@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm We have one but I blew the roof off with the multiple eucalyptus fire storms inside it. Because we are surrounded by so much bush, we need to get rid of sticks, branches, leaves. etc. The eucalyptus plants have such strong oils they burn and put off heaps of heat. The pizza oven was so big I could burn heaps off at a time, but it weakened the roof. The repair is on our winter job list. So I will be doing a vlog. I will make sure I do the sausage casserole but now there is only 2 of us - so a smaller sample. LOL. All the best.

[@refugiodomar6640]

@De Hoeve. Old Belgian farm renovation Just a tip i learned from my mother, when you start the fire don't use chemical starters because they will give taste to the food. Put the wood on the side not in the midle of the oven so the flame covers the intire top. Keep an eye on the colors of the bricks they will be changing color as the oven gets to the right temperature (White is good) I hope it helps you

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Thanks for these useful tips 👍🏻I hope to make use of them very soon.

[@sroberts605]

I saw the fire starter - sacré bleu!!

[@Fete_Fatale]

I was about to say this too. I recall from my childhood when my uncle made a Hangi (an earth firepit - New Zealand Maori cooking method using heated stones). Unfortunately he "cheated" the same way, and the whole meal tasted of kerosine as the chemicals in the firestarter got in to the stones. A lot of work making it, but ruined to save five minutes :(

@petnzme01 native americans do not put in 2nd holes in their horno [their version of bake oven]. however there are three advices that i noted from observing and hearing modern day pueblo indians, ... get real long pole (with attachments) similar to screw on kind for brooms, painter poles [no metal, too hot to touch], you will need hoe attachment to rake out and dump ash on floor [yes while hot-warm]. broom attachment [not plastic kind] to sweep ash, shovel attachment to [clean off the floor] cooled ash [usually two days to cool it off]., some kind of a long peel attachment to remove the baked materials, second advice, on the back side where clay dome is. indian replenish this with mix clay and rocks, preferably river rocks that is Igneous type. final advice-observation pueblos does sweep ash out but leave a bit ash in is ok, not bother mop out the oven.. they pick select wood (that is food safe.. usually not evergreen materials), after the burn, they want a little ash on the bake surface, this ash is baked on to bottom of bread becomes real tasty. in fact pueblo keeps first bake bread [because of fresh ash on bottom] . and give away 2nd and 3rd baked breads. I never had chance to taste the first set. on the "day of baking', I understand they make enough for 30 bread, baking 10 each time. .

[@SteveAbrahall]

Just a tip form someone who has done a little bit of wood fired pizza making - you can use a wet mop to clean up any ash from the floor of the oven (good if you want to put bread right on the bricks) and also get a Infrared Thermometer. Also you might like to make a metal door for the oven - as cooking once the fire goes out is possible, and the door helps keep the heat in. The big thing to manage though with an oven like this is the amount of wood it needs to bring it up to temprature and then keep it there (it might take the best part of a day!). Have fun and good luck and thanks for posting! :-)

[@troublemcallister730]

Yeah a door is a must for cooking in the embers. My Irish grandmother had a wood fired aga & a wood bread oven in the wall. The bread oven had a metal door and she said it helped keep the heat in. I don't know how she cooked with the aga & the bread oven, because there were no thermostats or temperature indicators but her food & bread were PERFECT every single time. :)

THANK YOU for this - reminds me of my childhood visiting my grandparents in Ireland. My grandmother had a wood fired aga & a bread oven in the wall of their cottage. Neither had any kind of temperature indicators but she cooked beautifully & everything was so tasty. Sadly I was often in trouble (I was NEVER girly enough for her - so was always being scolded for messing around outside & getting muddy) which meant my chore was cleaning the ash out of the wall oven (as I called it) and the aga. You will need to make sure the oven is very clean if you're looking to put the bread pan on on the bricks directly. But thanks for reminding me of the (MANY) days I had I to clean that oven! LOL! I don't think yours was EVER cleaned out! XD The ash would be good on rose beds (it's what my grandmother did with it).

Hello. You found wire in the bread oven. I think they wrapped a bundle of wood together with wire and put the whole bundle into the bread oven. This is how. Take a bundle of wire wrapped wood and set it about arms length inside the bread oven. Light the bundle on fire and push it all the way to the back of the bread oven. Do this with three or four bundles of wood. Pushing them all the way to the back wall of the bread oven. When the bread oven is hot enough you can cook your bread in front of your coats. Turning the loaves as needed. Have fun with your oven! Cook lots of loaves of bread at once. 🍞🥖🥐🥩🍕🥔🥘

[@suerussell497]

I am excited for your bake oven working well. This is a great reward so far for all the hard work in your restoration. I admire your great work ethic.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

What a treasure you have! Thank you for sharing all the interesting details. I would love to see the bread you make in it.

[@ezquimal]

Put fire 24 hs and that cleaning everything that can live inside and in the chimney

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Thank you for a good tip!

[@ezquimal]

@@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm nice floor to made bread and pizza. And some different pie or some meats too.

[@evaapple255]

lovely Bakhuis , but seeing all that Smoke - how about smoking Fish or Ham ?

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Thanks, Eva! I am not really sure it gonna work, need to ask around whether it is possible. Or just give it a try 😄

[@ramblingrosie3762]

Thank you for sharing this, it is so interesting. You are doing very well with your vocabulary. Thumbs up.

[@jeangodding6348]

I’m a new subscriber , just found your channel. It’s going to be an adventure restoring your wonderful old house. Are you going to farm ?

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Hi Jean and welcome! It is definitely gonna be an adventure :-) no, I highly doubt that we’ll become “real farmers”. Illia loves gardening, so we plan to plant different fruit trees and experiment with some exotic ones :-)

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Leuk die oven. Voor nu; lange takken uit eigen tuin met marshmellows erop en smullen maar met de kinderen. Wie weet dat u in de toekomst er brood in kunt bakken.

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Dat zullen wij zeker doen 🙌 Brood, stoofvlees, pizza - ik wil graag alle deze gerechten eens uitproberen. Zeker brood als eerste in de list.

[@alexmur5751]

[@hukllhuk7487]

Опа а вы русские косточка. Удачи в обустройствами.

[@panoreapan470]

I was so proud of you when you used the universal shovel !

[@gunillaevanth1370]

Perfect for pizza! 👍🏻

[@holymoly6829]

Hi you two I missed this episode What a find Now it’s cleaned out Will you be using it when the time is right Mmmmmm I can smell the bread 🥖 now ! I enjoyed your joke Mrs about finding a skeleton in your bread oven 🤣 Usually find them in the closet 🤗🤗 You keep on apologising for your commentary It’s absolutely fine Stop 🛑 worrying about it It’s a great asset to your posts 💕💕 Well done looking forward to your next episode 👏👏👏👏👏

[@peterhicks3516]

That oven is HUGE! I guess they baked a weeks worth of bread at one time. What a great asset to enjoy! Here is Australia such an oven would probably cost over $5000

[@teepeeX]

My brother built one at home more a pizza one but very big in Adelaide Australia....check out Jake from off the grid...to see how he built his

[@SilvaDreams]

They call it a bread oven but honestly it was THE oven so you cooked everything in there not just bread.

[@andrii_zavhosp]

Russians into the old farm

[@andrejjusow3966]

А мы из Германии. Привет вам огромный. Вы молодцы

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

[@jocellrobertson2333]

Thank you for sharing your Journey with all of us. I am watching from Sydney Australia. Love all that you are doing

[@johndean5860]

That a body he ain’t even know it

[@oldthudman]

Most early American Homes and Farm Houses had either a separate building or a wing on the rear used as a kitchen.....Until the advent of the wood cooking stove (1800's ) until the gas then the electric stove food was cooked in a large fireplace......

[@denisenault2402]

The ashes are very good to amend the soil where you wish to plant in your garden. I would love to see your work, a power washer on those front bricks In your yard will bring them back to new. Your trim on the window and shutters Could use a touch of paint to bring her back to her glory. What an amazing home you’ve chosen! I know everything takes time but it will be exciting to watch you’re progress!

[@stst9264]

Случайно посмотрел и так же услышал русскую речь, расскажите о себе кто вы и откуда

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Добрый день, в этом видео мы рассказываем немного о себе и наших планах на этот дом - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4W4gql8hpxkh6c

[@judyfenske1429]

The demolition work is messy. No need to apologize for the mess. I like the recycling way of Belgium. Organized not a mess. You are such a hard worker. And an excited one.
